(MC) (SA)
When comparing two variables
with number values each data
value can be considered as an
ordered pair (x,y) and therefore
can be graphed on the
Cartesian plane. The set of all
these points is called a scatter
plot. The relationship between
these two variables is called a
correlation.
The closer the points are to
forming a straight line, the
stronger the relationship
between the two variables.
The relationship can be
positive (both variables
increasing) or negative (one
variable decreases as the
other variable increases)
At any point that is significantly
further away from the other
points is called an outlier, and
can be excluded from the
relationship.
line
The closer the r-value is to 1 or -1, the stronger the
relationship
As the correlation coefficient approaches 0, the more
the points become scattered and less aligned.
A correlation coefficient of 0 means there is no
relationship between the two variables.

(The longest and skinniest rectangle)that contains all
the points EXCEPT the outliers
3) Let a and b represent the length and width of
the rectangle and measure the side length

or in the
opposite
direction.
Where
do we start?
First we can read
from the graph
that as the age of
the volunteers
goes up, the
number of hours
they work per
month goes down.
This is a property
of a negative
correlation.
Second the
distance between
the points varies
from 2- 3 at each
intervals, thus
being fairly close
together. This
signifies a strong

Step 1: Divide the data into two groups
= 25/ 5 = 5
5 = 13
P1(5, 13)
= 60/ 5 = 12
5=6
P2(12, 6)
Find a

Find b
b = y ax
b = 13 (-1)(5)
b = 13 + 5
b = 18
Therefore
y = -1x + 18
Once you find the rule
you can plug in values .
